Cat Flap Fitter Willington

Cat Flap Fitter Willington County Durham (DL15): The installation of a cat flap to an external door or wall in your house in Willington, will allow it to live a life of contentment and enjoy it's own little bit of independence and freedom. Cats which are kept inside, just like humans, will often show signs of frustration. When granted quick access to the world outside with a cat flap, your beloved cat has a far better chance of staying healthy and fit. However, what type of cat flap is the best solution for your circumstances?

A cat flap at its most basic is simply that. A sheet of bendable material fixed over a hole in a door to permit a cat to pass through it, but keep the elements out. While this may be suitable for a shed door or fence panel, most Willington cat owners would no doubt favour something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their house.

This basic design is still a long way off being ideal since it allows other animals or cats a way to enter into your house, nevertheless it can be improved upon by adding a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place.

Stepping up from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red variations of cat flap. In this case, either an RF chip, IR or magnet will be enclosed in your cat's collar. No animal is going to be able to leave or access your home unless it's fitted with one of these special collars. The downside is that any other moggy in the Willington area who's got a similar style of collar could possible access your property when using this type of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be upgraded to a certain extent with an RF cat flap and collar system offering an owner programmed unique identifier. Only your purrfect companion gains access, thus adding an added layer of security and control.

Picking a cat flap that can be operated by your pet's own microchip, is the next step-up in entrance devices for felines in Willington. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip details (if you've got several cats), to give exclusive access. Entry and exit are only possible for micro-chipped pets, and the flap is unfastened when you cat is in close proximity.

Whichever cat flap you buy, it should have the ability to be locked in position. The majority of cat flaps sold nowadays have a four way locking system. This makes it possible for your cat flap to be locked fully, enable only exit from your home, permit only admittance into your house, or have two-way entry and exit capability. This offers you a number of options on exactly how your cat flap functions any time of the day and night time. In line with your cat's and your requirements, there is even the option to carry out different functions according to the time of day, with a few of the top-end devices.

If you are fairly good at DIY, installing your own cat flap shouldn't be that difficult, as long as you've got a solid timber door on your Willington home. However, if it needs to be fitted into a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced uPVC door, you shouldn't even attempt to tackle it by yourself. These situations call for the expertise and skills of an experienced cat flap installer or handyman, who is certain to have have the tools and knowledge for this type of installation project.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN WILLINGTON

Double Glazing Installation - If you call in a "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to install your cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazed panel, send them on their way immediately. New cat flaps can not be fitted into pre-existing double glazing window or door panels. Making holes in the double glazing destroys not only the strength and security of the glazing, but it takes away the insulation properties too. In actual fact, it makes the glazing unsound and it should not ever be done.

It is necessary to get a new double glazing pane made specially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your local Willington cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your existing pane and put in an order for a brand new one. This new panel will arrive with a hole pre-cut as an integral part of its construction where the cat flap will be installed. You may have a one or two week waiting period for this to be made, however if you need a cat flap installed into an existing double glazed or patio door, this is basically the only way to do it. Once your new pane of glass shows up, the installer will take out the old one, and exchange it for the new "cat flap ready" one. The fitting of the cat flap will then be concluded.

External Wooden Doors - Solid wooden doors are, as we previously mentioned, the simplest options for installing a new cat flap in Willington. If you are a little uncomfortable with making a sizeable hole in your door, you might be happier hiring an expert handyman or cat flap fitter instead. A project of this sort will not be expensive and will give you the satisfaction of knowing that your pet will be using an expertly installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can normally be installed into uPVC doors. You or your fitter will have to verify what the internal construction of you door is, since for added security some uPVC doors are manufactured with a reinforced steel lining. A one-piece door panel enables easier installation, so if you've got a uPVC door that is slatted, it may be more cost effective to swap the panel for a single pane type.

Wall Installation - It's also possible to get a cat flap installed in an outside wall of your house in Willington, if you do not wish to cut chunks out of your doors, whether for safety or aesthetic reasons. This kind of installation is definitely better left to an expert, as it requires much more equipment and skill to accomplish. Almost all cat flap installations in walls are a basic straight tunnel style, however right angular access through a pillar is also a possibility. A neat square hole will need to be made through your wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, open ended square tube. Both ends of the hole are then fitted with an appropriate cat flap so that your cat can enter and exit the house whenever it wants.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Willington - If your door, window or wall is already fitted with a cat flap, but it has stopped working effectively, or is damaged, it is possible to mount a replacement over the existing cavity. You local cat flap fitter will be able to take off the unwanted cat flap, without damaging the surrounding door, wall or window, and fit a brand new flap for your cat.

If the replacement cat flap is being mounted into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, you must check that the glass has been made and installed correctly. The panel must be taken out and substituted to avoid any security and safety problems, if it is found this is not the case and corners were cut during the previous installation.
